Smile Should I get the Mazdaspeed wing?

I have a black 8 with the Mazdaspeed body kit & 19" Axis Hiro wheels. Do you think i should order the Mazdaspeed wing, another wing, or just not have one? Let me know what you all think.

It's all a matter of personal preference.

My preference:
1. Lip spoiler
2. No spoiler
3. Wing spoiler

CORTC: is that the authentic MS kit? If so, are you having any problems with the plastic rivets that Mazda supplied to us for the side skirts? Mine are snaping off at the neck and leaving my one side skirt hanging just from the front and rear attachment bolts, leaving a large space between the body of the car and the side skirts. I'm talking to MazdaSpeed and they are telling me to just exchange the side skirts for new ones. I know what your gonna say, "So don't be stupid get new ones while I can". I want to but I don't want to go through the trouble and time of taking them off when some plastic rivets could be the solution. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

only get the ms spoiler if you want your car to stand out.

but whatever you do, do NOT get the $200 rice specials that look like a snow plow.

Does your car look like this?
Same setup as mine, except I do not have the MS front. I plan to leave mine wingless for now.

I personally hate the Mazdaspeed wing. I'm waiting for something better to come out. Debating about the stock wing but I want something different. Anyone know if there are more coming out soon?

devious12: I have not had any problems but I do think they should have used a system of plastic anchors and screws with washers instead of the plastic pressure rivets... You can buy them at any auto parts store or at Mazda but if the side skirts are separated from the body then your two sided tape is not going to hold it flush anymore...

If they are willing to replace then have them send you the new parts, make sure they are aligned correctly and replace...
